Cotto @ 145... So?

the idiocy of that assumption is not based on whether its going to happen, or want it to happen or think its going to happen.

the stupidity of that statement lies in the fact that is can never happen them being both ww. or are you now insisting that pbf is 140 and should fight mosley at 144-143 catchweight.

but he fight jmm at at catchweight of 144 coming down from 147. hmm.

 

When are you going to answer my question? Or you just going to peek in every so often and talk a little **** when you've been exposed.

You're as bad as Swann.

 

Listen it's pretty simple:

At the end of the day, if Miguel Cotto ultimately decides that taking the fight at 145 is fine for HIM...who am I to argue? I'd prefer the fight at 147 of course but hey, it is what it is. The fight has no relevance to the WW scene and is just a cash grab.

It is...what it is.

 

:rofl

true.

ey, guidokz, would you be mad if floyd will fight mosley at a catchweight?:rofl

 

No Im not insisting that Floyd fight Mosley at a catchweight.

What I was saying is that Pac and Floyd weigh the same. Pac gets a pass for fighting Cotto a catchweight.

So Floyd should be able to fight Mosley at a catchweight and get a pass too right?

Pac fought at 147, even if for one fight he looked great. He showed he can fight at 147 easily. So why the need for a catchweight? You say it's to lower the weight advantage that Cotto will have over him.

Cotto would have the same weight advantage over Floyd, so Floyd should be able to fight him at a catchweight and get a pass too right?

 

is that even a possibility?.:huh

 

I agree with this....

 

I agree but my question has been to everyone who says 145 is not different from 147.

Then why is it at 145?

Cotto is not going to weigh any less than normal. So why 145?

 

Which is a fair question.

I do think people trying to blow it off as 'just two pounds" are going about this the wrong way. It's possible they have either never had to cut weight or do anything that requires you to drop pounds. It's uncomfortable, it's draining and YES one pound or two pounds can make a difference to your performance.

It's not as simple as just taking an extra **** during the day and being done with it ya know?

It's not just two lbs...I can bet they'd have to craft up a different regimen to account for those two extra lbs. I also don't necessarily see why they can't just have it at the WW limit. If Pac comes in at 144 he's still under the limit and Miguel isn't going to show up at 149. Chances are whether it's at 144 or 145 or 147 or what have you, They'll both be seperated by no more than 2-3 lbs come weigh in time.

Then again it's been made clear this is NOT a fight in relevance to the WW division but rather one of those mythical P4P battles. If that's the case, the weigh in is moot.

 

that little **** talk is all what it takes to expose your lunacy..

you really want my answer? dig my posts, i don't want to repeat my self over and over to someone who does not want to understand no matter how simple i make it out to be..

 

They seem to think it is.

Yup.

Will Cotto's title be on the line?

 

Expose what? The fact that you speak on **** you have no idea what it is?

 

Unless I'm mistaken? No title can be on the line in a catchweight bout.

Then again it IS the WBO so if anyone can twist them in knots, it's Arum.

 

Oh. Are you sure? HOpkins titles were on the lie against DLH.

 

Yeah that's strange. I've always been told that catchweight bouts can't have titles to them. Seems odd to say the least but oh well.

I guess it's dependent upon approval from all the sanctioning bodies involved. Big money probably gets away with it where as smaller fights wont.
